That would be the Motorola Droid that put themback on the map. And the date was over 2 years ago, ( announced as well as released, Nov 2009). It was sold as the DROID in the States, as the Milestone unlocked and to the rest of the world.
For the record....

Owned and thrashed an Atrix 4G, I was dissapointed about not receiving ICS. After my Atrix broke I bought this phone, I only can say it's a proper smartphone and an OK succesor to the first atrix generations. I'm really happy with it(by now), now lets see if Moto doesn't let us down with the updates. If that's the case, this would be my last Moto.

rjgrullon, 04 Oct 2012Motorola released an update which adressed the batter life, it improved it really. It is my cu... moreIf you are talking about 10 hours of multiple use, then I get more. I had it off the charger yesterday at 7am and and had to charge it at 9:am the next day and it still had 16% left. A mass battery is unnecessary but if good for weekend get aways.

Anonymous, 29 Nov 2012This phone and all Motorola phones from 2011 and 2012 will be updated to Jelly BeanI am currently running the leak version of Jelly Bean and it works great. I think the official one coming soon.

awsome fast /
my friend buy it today .
and camera take picture lik... moreYou are kidding me right? The camera on this phone is a joke. So much noise in the picture. This is only CON that I found in this phone.

Where is the logic in making the second gen atrix with a much smaller battery. It's as of they dongle even care if it sells or not. The atrix was the first phone to create Motorola and put them back on the map... and they just spit on it
